mrRovEMnNT IN *BEER-Fenders.

The Schedule referred to 'in these Letters` Paten-tand making part ofthe same I, FELIxMANz, of the cit-y and count-y of Allegheny, oftheState of Pennsylvania, have invented cer'- tan Improvements inBeer-Faucets, of which the following is a specification.V

Nat-ure and Oly'ects of the invention.

The nature of my invention consists in constructing a beer or ale-cockin such a maner that, as the beer or ale is'drawn from the' barrel, thefaucet by means of a plunger contained init, will forcethe beer or alethrough the valve, thereby causing the old, aswell as. new heer, toproduce a rich creamy surface.

v Description of drawings.

Figure 1 is an elevation on a reduced scale. Figure 2 .a lpngitudinaland vertical section. Figure 3 an'elevation vof the valve.

Figure 4 -an elevation of the plunger.

l General Description.

The construction of my invention is as follows.

The accompanying drawing represents an ordinary faucet, of which- A isthe valve seat, with arm B, which enters the beer barrel.

.C is the valve containing in it the plunger D.

The lower end of the valve G is provided-with a small perforation H, andalso has on the side of it a square opening I, through which the beerentersiuto the interior ofthe valve when turned to the proper direction.y

Now, this plunger D manipulates, by means of the following description:The valveseat A has through it, from about the middle'to the top, arising curve, or slot G.

The valve C contains through the center of it a circular or cylindricalopening L, forming the pump-bar rel, into which the plunger D, istightly fitted.

The valve C, has a straight slot F.

Now, place the valve O into the valve-seat A, and

enter the pin E through the rising slot G and through the straight slotF in valve C, and screw it tightly iu to the plunger D. .Themanpulationwill be created by turning the valve C in the proper direction.

The pin E will he compelled to rise through the straight slot F, inconsequence of the valve-seat A having a rising curve G, which has anelevation proportionately to the length of the pump contained in valveC. i y 'l g The passage of the beer is produced by providing the valve Owith a ilat surface K, below the opening of the pump I, thus leavingsuicient room for the passage of beer or ale.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the valve C with the'perfora? tion H, and sideopening I, in connection with plunger D, caused to manipulate by theslots G and F, so as to force the beer through the perforation H whenthe valve is being turned oi, and produce a creamy surface when tappedin a vessel, substantially as and for the purpose herein specied.

FELIX MANZ.
